@todayshow: Author Arthur C. Brooks says that reducing screen time can help reprogram your brain and help people to ask the "why" questions that help them find purpose in life. Brooks says adopting a new protocol of no device time for the first hour in the morning, the last hour before going to bed, and during meals, has been scientifically proven to reprogram the brain.

This year we took 120 8th graders on a 4 day trip to DC no phones allowed. Twenty minutes out of the school parking lot they reverted to a pre-phone era teenagers. It was incredible to see. They can’t have phones during the school day and they don’t even complain. They crave being phone free!! Even if they would never admit it.
